Veterans Memorial Park

Located at the lakefront/harbor and 52nd Street. Featuring the Veterans Memorial Fountain and Lone Soldier Memorial. Special events, including the summer Peanut Butter & Jam concert series, are held here. The park features a 32-foot by 60-foot ​outdoor ice rink in the winter (starting around the end of November each year; the 2018/2019 season ended March 17, 2019).

Dedicated in 2005, the Lone Soldier Memorial features a seven-foot tall lone soldier created in cast bonze as its centerpiece. The work serves to commemorate all of the wars fought by the United States since 1776 as well as the total casualties of each war. The monument complements the Veterans Memorial Fountain. The fountain features mementos from historic battlegrounds, including an eight-ton boulder from Okinawa and sand from Omaha and Utah beaches in Normandy, and a stainless steel globe with continents made of cast bronze at its center.
